I was a bit confused when I wrote about "skolemization" being the culprit. The 
problem is that fixed variables occurring in the conjecture end up keeping 
their names (modulo some slight alterations). After all, such variables are for 
all practical purposes just like constants. By "fixed" variables, I mean among 
other things the "parameters" of the goal (those entites which "rename_tac" 
works on).

That "metis" performance is affected by the naming of constants is not 
surprising to anybody who knows a thing or two about automated reasoning, but 
it is surprising that even the goal parameter naming affects it.
